Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease told reporters Tuesday a decision about which quarterback would begin the season opener Saturday could be determined by Thursday.

Either Jacoby Brissett or JeffDriskel will take the first 15 minutes of snaps in the season opener against Bowling Green, while the other person will play the second 15.

"I don't know, maybe a flip of the coin, see who gets it," Pease joked. "That's kind of something that will be determined more towards Thursday because we've got a couple days still to rep situations. And it kind of depends maybe on what we open up with."

Both players will get equal opportunity to move the Gators' offense in the first half, and what the Gators' staff decides to do in the second half will likely be determined by the first-half performances of each player.

Pease also said the beginning of the game will have a script of about 10 plays, like any game plan, while the quarterback who takes over in the second quarter will inherit more of a situational play-calling, based on the flow of the game.

• Pease said going up against the Florida first-team defense has also helped get Brissett and Driskel game-ready.

"They're good," Pease said. "... I think we had a lot of good days, and if we're being productive, I feel very confident in what we can do because I think we're facing one of the better defenses in the conference. We get to face them in practice."
